Preview 2025 Rd 5 Carlton vs West Coast Saturday 12th April 1.20PM AEST @ Adelaide Oval

[Aphrodite]

Team is in …


4 changes!

 

[JJBagger]

and if Carroll isn't best on ground he will be dropped next week ahead of anyone else

You mean like Will White was this week?

 

[Stamos]

Seriously, the way we are developing/using Lord is a bloody disgrace

Selection is a joke. Younger players suffering for poor efforts of senior players

Lord obviously got too many score involvements last week.
We don’t want to score.

Cerra is on notice.

 

[BlueLocke]

Watch the 8 goal game from a returning Waterman.

 

[Yubby]

Really disappointed with some of the outs and no senior players held accountable foe inconsistent form by being dropped.

Smacks of a coach trying to save face rather than truly make an example and set clear and strong standards. Instead the kids get the chop.

Elijah better off as the sub than an emergency too.

 

[SammaGilberto]

Dropping Lord just to bring him back on Good Friday is a bit on the nose.

He was sub. Give it a week

 

[Aphrodite]

Them …

Leadership group I’d suggest

Cripps Walsh Weiters would all have a say

I'd love to know if team selection was a democratic voting situation, fringe members contributing opinions or does 1 or 2 individuals have an over-riding control?

This is because Voss is useless. He can't play more mid types because he has no structure. He won't push them forward at times. In a proper structure Walsh Cripps Lord Cerra Hewett can all go forward

Look at Hawks. Play more mids and teach them how to go forward at times. Day Worpel Newcombe Nash McKenzie Ward etc all go forward at times and rotate. Structure and game style

Honestly think the biggest issue with Doc and McGovern is a lack of confidence.
I would have dropped both of them - but there’s never a better chance to regain confidence than a game against the Eagles away from Perth.

 

[Stamos]

McQualters job doesn’t rely on wins yet. That’s why. Voss loses this and he’s likely gone. He clearly trusts the 23 he’s put on paper

Which is one of the reasons we’re unsuccessful.

Blind faith in players who don’t rock up every week.
Or in the case of Docherty and McGovern, don’t rock up any week (this year).

Coaching group picks side at Carlton and Voss has any final decisions. People need to deal in facts instead of guessing

JSOS will starve him to death

Gov maybe, Doc looks physically cooked.

Though I'm starting to think Gov is mentally cooked...

Doubt they’d all be involved.

Crazy to think coaches are making these decisions without consultation with the leadership group.

Neither deserves to be in the team

 

[Burgers45]

Four changes but no change.

When was the last time we made a senior player accountable?

Voss hasn't got the guts to make a big statement. Some of these senior players don't deserve a position in the team. There's still a problem with Voss and his MC with selection integrity. When is it going to change?

Cerra is on notice.

Cerra was clearly better, stats or by eye

Lord is only a mid, he struggled resting forward early rounds.

All our mids don't really have forward traits, apart from say Cerra or Hewett to some degree

The only mid/forward on our list is Elijah

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Glad Cotts is back at AO for the non-mark in the dying minutes, touched by half the players on the paddock, then slots the snag to grab the lead

 

[Arr0w]

Excited to see Carroll and White gets another run, a couple of kids

lf Cerra is on notice what is McGovern & Doc, both have been awful this year?

I know Cerra was better. He was the only player on our team to have more score involvements than Lord last week.
Which is why he’s on notice.

The ‘mid’ who should go out is Doc. He was putrid last week. Got more of the ball, used it a lot worse. Aside from the times he chose not to go.

 

[DamoESP]

Lowkey hope we lose and Voss is sacked. Our MC are clearly not up to the task. What a joke

I think you’re misreading my post.
Cez was our only player to get more score involvements than Lord last week
